Osprey Guest Cottage is Amazing!

This is our second stay at Osprey. Walter is the best host, ever! He makes sure everything you need is available to you. His property is just secluded enough to enjoy nature and the bay while still being close enough to all that the Gulf Shores area has to offer. The cabin is amazing. I wish the wife and I could stay forever! The only thing I was missing was a boat. Perhaps I'll bring mine the next time? We stayed a full week and felt time flew by way too fast. Comfortable bedding, couch, etc. Fishing gear available to you. Lighting on the dock if you want to night fish. I almost don't want to tell people about the place so it's always available when I can get away! LOL. Thanks again, Walter, for an excellent stay.

My wife and I were looking for a peaceful, secluded get away and we found it with this property. The host couldn't have been more friendly. We enjoyed watching the sun rise and the dolphins while having our morning coffee on the pier. We fished late into the night with the lighted pier and and gazed at the stars. We hope to do it again soon.

My wife and I stayed at the Osprey Nest for our 32nd wedding anniversary. The place is beautiful! Perched right off the main deck is a perfect view of the Osprey nest and family. This can be viewed from the awesome boat house they have as well! We took our watercraft to go exploring the bay and dolphin watch and were not disappointed. Every day we saw dolphin and not just one at a time but groups of them. It was truly spectacular!The cabin was very comfortable and clean. Great location, both from land and sea. About 30min to Foley and 40-45 to Orange Beach and Gulf Shores. By sea we were on the Orange Beach side within 15min, Wolf Bay and the Wharf area about 20min, and Perdido Key in 30in {30-35 mph or so, no stopping).Our host was hospitable, accommodating, and very helpful.The overall property and grounds were wonderful. Very quiet and away from all of the hustle and bustle but still an easy commute to get to all the activity.No complaints here. We will definitely stay again!!!Thanks for the hospitality!!!

Excellent place to relax

The cabin was perfect. We enjoyed hanging out on the dock most of the day. The fishing was good and I enjoyed taking the paddleboard up and down the river. The area was quiet and relaxing. I highly recommend this cabin if you are looking to get away and enjoy the outdoors.

Beautiful views from the cabin and the dock. Peaceful sounds of birds and no traffic. Close enough to favorite beaches and dining but you probably don’t want to out every meal. Fully functional kitchen and a charcoal grill. Sun and shade both available on property. Gracious and helpful host are close by.

Quiet Hideaway

The perfect place to enjoy a quiet and peaceful stay! The cottage was just perfect for the two of us. We enjoyed the quaint atmosphere of this location. Having the dock was perfect for early morning and evening fishing. "Fred" the blue heron was such fun! The sunrises and sunsets were stunning. Walter was a fabulous host, making sure all our needs were met!

Osprey Cottage

This little cottage is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy time together. The bed was super comfortable, as was all the furniture. Looked almost new. The kitchen was tiny, but serviceable. It is not a luxury abode, but we did not expect that. It was so nice to not have tons of people around. There are other homes nearby, but they are not on top of each other. I hear there is a lot of construction in this area, and a home 3 down was having a pier constructed, which was noisy. My husband spent almost the whole time fishing and was a little disappointed in his success, but maybe timing is everything. Sitting on the porch chairs watching the bay and sunset was so peaceful and lovely. The location is not very close to anything, which is part of its charm, but be advised that it’s 30-45 minutes to get anywhere. I would recommend this cottage. I brought books and a sketch pad to relax.

This is our 7th stay in the Osprey Cottage! Obviously we really like it here. Peaceful and very quiet except for boats and wildlife at this time of year. We have become friendly with some of the locals and the owner and have gotten to know the area! This is one of our “happy places “!! Perfect place for a couple regardless of age.
